Fan throws banana at Richarlison in racist incident

The racist insult to the Brazilian striker once again became a big controversy in the world of football.

Brazil

national team and

star

Richarlison

faced racist insults during the match against Tunisia and was very angry.

Last night, the Brazilian national team faced Tunisia in the last friendly match before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at the Parc des Princes stadium in France and managed to overcome with a score of 5-1.

Richarlison scored his team's second goal on Raphinia's assist in the 19th minute of the game and went to the corner flag with some of his teammates to celebrate after the goal.

It was at this moment that a number of spectators at the Parc des Princes stadium threw objects, including a banana, at the player.

The published images show that Man Utd midfielder Fred is throwing these objects out of the field, and it is clear that the fans in the stadium intended to upset and anger Richarlison with these racist actions.

This is while the Brazilian national team took a photo before the game with an anti-racist banner with the slogan "Without our black players, we wouldn't have these stars on our shirt." By publishing a statement, the Brazilian Football Federation strongly condemned this incident and the behavior of the spectators and claimed that such behavior is not acceptable.

Richarlison, who was extremely upset and angry about this incident, said after the game: "As long as they keep 'blah blah blah' and don't punish, it's going to continue like this, happening every day and in every corner.

CBF president said:

"Once again, I come publicly to express my rejection. This time I saw it with my own eyes. This shocks us. We must always remember that we are all the same, regardless of colour, race or religion.

"The fight against racism is not a cause, but a fundamental [battle for] change to wipe this type of crime from the planet. I insist on saying that the punishments need to be more severe."
